AskWoody LoungerHi Macropd,
It’s a surprise and an honor to receive your reply. I’ve learned a lot from your articles in the past.
Before receiving your post, I used ^13A*: as the Find string. At least, it works. Yours is more eloquent.Hi Paul,
Thanks for your help.Armstrong

AskWoody LoungerThanks for sharing your Copernic experience, of which I’m also a licensed user. I didn’t encounter any issue with Copernic.
It was an Outlook item such as Appointment (.msg) saved in the Desktop folder.
The Delete failure was caused by the corruption of Permission/Ownership in Folders/Registry.

AskWoody LoungerHi Ted, Clint & Peter,
Thanks for your help.
None of your suggestions succeeded.
A clean install is the only solution, just like most Windows 7 issues.
Thanks again.

AskWoody LoungerHarald,
Are you running Outlook Express?

AskWoody LoungerI solved the problem myself. The actual ODBC Administrator I should run is:
C:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe. That runs perfectly free of any error.
The Search in Windows 7 Start points to the 64-bit ODBC Administrator.

AskWoody LoungerTed,
Thanks for your help.
If a program or a driver is set to be Windows XP compatibility mode in Windows 7 Ultimate x64, will it in any degrade the overall performance?

AskWoody LoungerOf course, it’s possible to include an executable as a URL such as c:MyPgmabc.exe.
When clicking such URLs, Access will pop up a warning dialog box?
How to block these annoying warning dialog boxes?

AskWoody LoungerJoe,
First, thanks for you kind help.
Of course, I knew Brother’s official proclamation. But how could it help existing orphaned users?
I wonder if anyone has installed the obsolete driver thru Windows compatibility mode. Is it plausible?
